Munch's inscription designates this impression as a second state. Recent research of the available impressions has however revealed that the border around the image, the differentiator between the first and second states, is in fact a matter of selective inking rather than additional work to the plate. Gerd Woll therefore divides the known impressions into two variants, A & B, designating the absence or presence of the border. This print is cited by Woll as an early variant B impression (with the border).

Woll records a total of forty impressions in public collections.
